- Oslo (Microsoft project)
Oslo is the codename for a
Microsoft forthcoming modeling platform, first announced October 2007. It consists of:* A design tool code-named "Quadrant" that helps people define and interact with models in a rich and visual manner. However, MIcrosoft expects that most models will be expressed textually. [http://www.sdtimes.com/link/32957]
* A language called "M" that helps people create and use textual domain-specific languages and data models; "M" can be translated from Domain-specific languages to XAML and other code that can be executed by runtimes. [http://www.sdtimes.com/link/32957]
* A relational repository, based upon SQL Server, that makes models and metadata available to both tools and platform components
* A metadata from models can be used by Microsoft Systems Center, and possibly by its "Midori" operating system incubation project, for managing applications through policy.

Professional Developers Conference (October 2008).External links
